Literally an original and sequel coming next season WTF are u even spouting. They did the PV for this and cygames liked it enough to get a TV series out of this. Why would they turn down a job?

Ok its not your taste! Great! Other ppl are excited and its a good way to show how diverse PA works can be.

If you really are upset go watch their 2 series next season. U will get a very safe PA works

Seriously if they wanted another cygames anime, they should make a Shadowverse anime (since we are already getting Rage of Bahamut/Granblue fantasy, the other two popular Cygame properties) considering how popular the TCG is on android/IOS and on PC (Steam) both in Japan and in the west.

Better enjoy Sakura Quest/Uchoten Kazoku S2 while you can because after that PA Works going to hit rock bottom on the creativity end.

Sakura Quest is safe, but Uchoten Kazoku is not.

Project to be TV anime.

Cygames, Toho Animation, and Lantis will also be involved in the project.

And yet I have this strange urge to abandon my wife for at least one day to watch this in complete seclusion. This first episode has a date with me.

Thank you, Flower, for the introduction.

You took the words right our of my mouth.

The premise looks PRETTY DERPY.

I'll see myself out.

Everyone want some Cygames money

xizro345 · 2017-03-25, 07:33

I don't understand all the hostility, honestly.

They want their generic PA Works to only do teenage drama.

Marcus H. · 2017-03-25, 09:48

I'm pretty sure that the only reason this gets an anime is because anime nowadays has been used by pachinko companies as a "bridge" to get themed pachinko for their patrons. (See Haruhi and Hidan no Aria, for example.) What's perfect about this is that the character designs for Uma Musume are, like in Kancolle, based on real-life entities. In Uma Musume's case, the girls are based on horses participating in horse racing.

Considering how strong the horse racing scene is in Japan, seeing the reception of the Japanese audience to this show should be interesting. Unfortunately, that alone is not a reason to pick this series up.

EDIT: To those interested, the girl with the green hairband is based on Silence Suzuka. The identifying marks were the non-matching shoes (a reference to his black and white hind heels) and the ball-shaped accessory on her headband (which was shared with the original).

Everything you need about the references can be found on Nico Nico. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm28565654

EDIT: There are also interesting things about the character designs. While in racing attire, those wearing shorts are originally stags (males) and those wearing bloomers are mares (female).

xizro345 · 2017-03-25, 10:00

That's not a reason to shame on it as well though. What it matters in the end will be if it'll be good or not. The politics behind it are irrelevant, after all.

That's a really nice way to say why the series has more chances to be bad than something good, and as you said this is all on the hands of how the Japanese audience will react. The series isn't getting the "hate" of the people, but let's be honest this is really weird for PA Works and it is a rare pick up for that studio considering their previous series were mostly focused on drama stuff.

At least we have someone like you taking some time to explain the situation a bit better, not like other people trying to be the special kids on the block liking something most people have serious doubts because why not.

Kismet-chan · 2017-03-25, 11:29

I wouldn't call the response to this "hostility" as much as it's intense doubt that this will amount to anything worthwhile. The studio chosen for this, while we're more used to seeing them do series that don't really fit this sort of demographic, is irrelevant to what's actually turning us off.

Personally, I don't see how anyone could unironically think the premise behind horses being represented by anime girls has the potential to be great? I'll let someone get away with saying it's unique. But, uh... Anyone expecting the character development and/or plot in this to be something award-winningly noteworthy is probably in for an unpleasant surprise.

If it's entertaining, then it's ok for me. After all, anime is and will be purely a commercial product.

For example SILVER LINK turned Ange Vierge, which not only was a pure advert for a gacha-style game but also ran into some kind of trouble at some point during production, into something enjoyable and fun. Same can be said, IMO, for JC Staff's handling of Schoolgirls Strikers - The Animation Channel. Another adaptation in the same style, Idol Jihen was, in contrast, rather boring, again, regardless of what the original game was.

I'm not expecting PA Works to create a masterpiece, but something I can watch.
And again, I don't see the point in the "hostility". Even if it's a front for a pachinko game (but I believe the mobile game will be more important), that's totally irrelevant as far as the anime itself is concerned, as I said.

Marcus H. · 2017-03-25, 22:57

It's not even hostility, per se.

For actual hostility, see the Smartphone Isekai upcoming anime thread.
